Any Generic Fungal Disease Solutions
I am totally anti-conventional medicine so it really takes a lot for me to break down and go to a doctor's office. But I used to have problems with candida albicans quite frequently. And the first thing they do is hand out a prescription...or two...or three. And Since I always had just as much problems with the cure as I…

How do you start your day?
Since its been 14hrs mostly since I last ate, I figure I should put some thought into what I put into my body on an empty stomach. I start the day with a shot of fire cider (in winter) then a glass of water to wash it down with a 1000mg Vit C. Then a Chaga tea. Followed by a green smoothie with all the good stuff,…

Wasp sting swelling
Received a wasp sting 2 days ago and since, my arm has doubled in size and has not gone down yet. What can I do to relieve the swelling?

Marjory talk on Holistic Oral Health summit
Did anyone listen to Marjory’s awesome talk this week? Has anyone found a great holistic dentist? I would like to get her free ebook about remineralizing teeth. The web address twothirds.com she gave isn’t anywhere close. Perhaps I heard wrong. Would love it if someone has the correct link to share. Thanks.

Plant Medicine + Earthing = Tactile Homeopathy?
I've got this strange idea that I'd really like some input on. It combines herbal medicine and earthing/grounding. Earthing is being in physical (electrical) contact with the Earth. It allows us to balance our body's electrical charge, since we build up a positive charge (pro-acidity, pro-inflammation), and the Earth's…

health benefits of linen
While looking online for a good, non-plastic way to store bread, I fell down a linen rabbit hole. Does anyone know about the validity of the health claims for linen fabric? It has something to do with the fiber's frequency. I know that linen is supposed to be cooler than cotton, so I have kept an eye out for it at thrift…

radon
We built our house over a four year period and although we put in radon mitigation system, we didn't ever complete it/ vent it to the outside. In the rush to get on with things, we forgot to pick up a tester and see if we needed to finish the job. Meanwhile, I had a hair analysis tell me that a major factor in my health…

Kidney Stone
2:05 am. There's a little something going on in my left side towards my back. Kind of a spasm. It's probably because I ate something with gluten. Try to go back to sleep. 2:10 am. The pain is a little more intense. My intestines hurt like bowling balls going through them. It must be Covid-19 because the plumber came…

Vitamin D deficiency and inflammation link
I am doing some research on the link between Vitamin D Deficiency and Inflammation. I keep falling into the rabbit hole chasing after one fact or another. (I am quite surprised at the number of people being diagnosed worldwide as deficient in this critical vitamin (myself being one). I know that I receive enough sunlight…

I was initially looking for something to help with joint pain and inflammation and was also seeking a heavy metal detox. I have used Haematoccus Pluvalis Microalgae (Astaxanthin) and Arthrospira Platensis (Spirulina)…

Heirloom soybean question... estrogens?
Do all soybeans affect hormone balance? I'm not a big fan of soybeans, but if there is an heirloom variety that won't lower testosterone or raise estrogen, I'm sure I could enjoy them in ferments, maybe tofu and such... maybe.... I do like them dried and salted, like nuts.

Anyone have success treating a gastric ulcer with herbs or other methods
With the current situation going on in the world and working in a hospital, I've had an old foe rear its ugly head for the first time in 26 years... gastric ulcer.

Natural support for high urea/BUN
I once again need your help as I am not that familiar with this part of growing 😉 I am currently out sick with a flare of gout from high urea. Is there anything apart from low meat consumption and low protein consumption I can do to support my body in fighting this?
